kp, aka "chocolate thunder," ran his first 5k this weekend - the susan g. komen breast cancer race for the cure. he's started training for the new orleans marathon and thought this would be a nice, gentle way to ease himself into racing. i can't tell you how impressive it is - he's already up to 8-mile runs on his long training days, and is running a minimum of four days a week. and during this race, he came in a minute or so under his target time! not only that, but he was among the top 1000 to finish (of over 12,ooo participants), so he came home with a medal!
also, how great is new orleans? the participants were treated to endless supplies of abita beer, chicken wings, and jumbalaya... (lazy wives were welcome to sample the eats as well, which this lazy wife did with gusto).

That is AWESOME! Mazel Tov! Nothing like running 5k and ceelbrating with a beer right at the finish line. That's a quick way to get drunk.
Also, didn't Knox run track in high school, or did I make that up?
I remember seeing video of the lean, mean, high school Knox machine acting on video tape.
Anyhow...pumped for your visit, and will seriously call you one of these weekends...feel free to do the same!
